Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The winner of a race finished in this position.

Answer: 1

The winner finished first. Winners in the Olympics receive a gold medal. Funny starting a quiz with a question about a winner. :-)

2. If your brothers are twins, how many brothers do you have?

Answer: 2

Twins are two babies born on the same day from the same mother. The following names are used when more than two babies are born from the same mother:
Three babies - triplets
Four babies - quadruplets
Five babies - quintuplets
Six babies - sextuplets
Seven babies - septuplets
Eight babies - octuplets

3. How many blind mice ran after the farmer's wife?

Answer: 3

From the nursery rhyme:
"Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?"

4. How many corners are there on a square?

Answer: 4

Three corners on a triangle and four corners on a square. Of course, a circle has no corners.

5. How many fingers are there on one hand (including your thumb!)?

Answer: 5

Five fingers on one hand, ten on both hands.

6. How many items make up half a dozen?

Answer: 6

A dozen is 12, so half a dozen is 6. Or, if you spotted the pattern already, you will have know that 6 comes after 5.

7. How many days are there in a week?

Answer: 7

Five days of school, followed by two days of weekend. There are 52 weeks in a year.

8. This number sounds like something you did with food.

Answer: 8

This reminds me of the question: "Why is 6 afraid of 7?"
Answer: Because 7 ate(8) 9.

9. When I am very happy, what cloud am I on?

Answer: 9

Being on cloud nine is a saying that means one is very happy. The expression of being on cloud nine has been used at least since 1946, so it's been around for more than 60 years!

10. The Romans represented this number as an X.

Answer: 10

The Romans used I to represent 1, V to represent 5 and X to represent 10. You would count as follows to 10 using the Roman system (also known as Roman numerals):
1 = I
2 = II
3 = III
4 = IV (one before five)
5 = V
6 = VI
7 = VII
8 = VIII
9 = IX (one before ten)
10 = X
